🧙 WHO: Rosho and anyone!
⚔️️ WHAT: a variety of things
🕒 WHEN: October
🗺️ WHERE: around Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: last prompt deals with death and trauma, just a heads up!

( 1. HAUNTED ART GALLERY )

a) [ Rosho likes to visit the library every once in a while, but he comes to a pause at the entrance, staring in confusion at the signage placed outside. "Haunted art gallery"? He didn't hear any news of the change. Granted its not much of a surprise considering its October, but he was under the assumption Camelot didn't have many modern Halloween-inspired traditions. Of course the entire world is based on magic. There's weird things all over.

Of course, with him simply standing there, he looks like a potential volunteer waiting for a partner to take him into the gallery. Maybe that'll be you? ]

b) [ The unfortunate truth of the matter is that Rosho hates ghosts, and he frightens very easily, so its no surprise that he's barely able to handle the art gallery. Its far too much for him! But in lieu of trying to find an escape he decides on the next best thing: its far easier to run away from scary things and avoid them as an owl.

And so if you're a participant in the haunted art gallery, you just might end up stumbling into a frantic owl that latches onto you and refuses to leave. If you happen to have animal magic, at least its behavior will make more sense as you can hear it panicking in fear:]

I wanna go home I wanna go home, I don't wanna be here anymore! Please let me leave!!

( 2. PET ADOPTION FAIR )

Would you be able to give me some help?

[ Rosho addresses anyone that might be a little less occupied than most surrounded by such an array of cute animals, and all up for adoption. Thankfully Rosho's not terribly distracted considering he's already living in a house with way too many animals (not human and very human). Instead he's decided to try to help out with searching for these lost hamsters. ]

I've asked the other animals to let me know where the hamsters are, but they're small, so an extra person would be good to have.

( 3. IN BAD SPIRITS )

[ You might be going about your business, enjoying the weather, thinking about what to make for dinner or whether you left the oven on at home. Maybe you haven't been sleeping well from having to share a bed, maybe your new pet compsognathus is driving you up the wall. Regardless of what's going on in your life, Camelot has been hectic in and of itself, so its easy to look for or even just stumble on a distraction.

That distraction happens to be an individual crouched beside a building, head in his hands, who seems to be under a lot of distress as he's visibly trembling. Maybe he just needs some time to himself, so no one can blame you for walking away. But he sure does look like he could use some help right about now. ]

[ The extra light is a help, but they're still pretty much cornered, and Rosho's doesn't have a useful magic ability in this scenario. It seems he'll have to follow along with his companion and just try to make a run for it.

Now, instead of later. He can't even wait a second longer. ]

1!!

[ Taking Kazunari's hand and gripping it tightly to make sure he doesn't fall behind, Rosho immediately makes for a sprint back down the hallway. The apparition lets out a shriek as it attempts to lunge at them but at the presence of the light it suddenly fades away into nothing. The crows that had been squawking at them dive-bomb them as they continued to make a run for it, and vegetables are being tossed from certain paintings, even large pumpkins and bits of hay, but Rosho doesn't stop running. The good news is the blackness seems to disappear as long as the light is present, and soon enough the hallways begin to look more normal with regular illumination from the ceiling lights.

And then finally, just like that, the art museum looks normal and they find themselves right back to the entrance. ]

[Everything happens so fast. Kazunari barely registers everything going on around them as he pours all of his focus into running, holding tight to Rosho's hand, and keeping his light steady.

Woof. He has never been so glad to be out of an art gallery.

Now that they're safe, though... Kazunari launches himself at Rosho, throwing his arms around him.] We made it out! That got too real way too quickly, right? Like from zero to one hundred real quick, right??

I'm so sorry!!!

[ Rosho's freaked and stressed out enough that he doesn't mind the moment Kazunari launches himself at him in a bear hug, and in fact wraps his arms around him in return to pat him reassuringly on the back, focusing on getting his heart rate back in stable order. ]

I knew that was a bad idea. Never go back in there again, that was terrible! That wasn't even remotely fun! I don't know why they do those kinds of things during the Halloween season, its the worst!

[ Not really, Rosho, you just scare easily. After a big breath and appreciating the cherished sunshine, open space and lack of ghosts and creepy things around, Rosho looks down at his companion. ]

You didn't get hurt or anything did you?

They're usually more fun than that!! [Usually all the ghosts and ghouls are only actors and not potentially real! But Kazunari is not gonna argue with Rosho. That sucked big time.]

I think I've got tomato guts in my hair... but otherwise I'm A-OK. [Yeah, something is definitely dripping down the back of his neck so he detaches himself from Rosho.] You're not hurt either, are you? You didn't even wanna go in - I really am sorry.

[ Rosho makes a bit of a face because he's definitely got some red on him, but at least it's not a bad kind of red. Like, y'know... blood. ]

I'm just fine but you should try to get cleaned up before that all dries.

[ He doesn't have anything on him to help wipe up the mess. They'll probably have to find a place with a bathroom. ]

Honestly, think next time before you go dragging people into places!

[ Rosho's ready to go into a tirade of scolding before someone approaches them cheerfully.

"Congratulations, you've both made it through! That was a lot faster than some of the other participants! I'm very impressed! Here's a coin for each of you and your reward, don't eat it all in one sitting!"

The attendant will hand them each a token, then gesture to a table they've set up with sets of decorative glasses, all filled with candy. ]

I won't do it again -- [The attendant quickly distracts him - oh, candy! His favorite! - but only for a moment. Kazunari chooses his glass and then turns right back to Rosho.]

Is there anything I can do to make it up to you? Treat you to lunch? Or maybe a drink??

[Not that Rosho looks like the drinking type, but you never know! But hopefully he can't say "no" to that pleading puppy face.]

[ Even Rosho's momentarily distracted by the sudden offering of candy. The glasses are nice, but his sweet tooth has priorities. He grabs one of the candies and undoes the wrapper as he stares Kazunari down.

He's not one to be pushy, but if he's given a debt, he wants it repaid back.

With no thought at all as he plops the unwrapped caramel square into his mouth: ]

Pudding.

Pudding.

[The gears start turning in Kazunari's head, processing exactly what he's witnessing here, and finally he whispers like he's just solved the answers to the universe:] Gap moe.......

[And a similar flavor as Juza!! Lucky, lucky! Before Rosho can think about that (hopefully) Kazunari fires off again.] I can do that, I can do that! I'll get you the best pudding in Camelot, uh -!

[...]

What's your name?

Gap... what?

[ He has no clue what that even means. You kids and your zoomer language. ]

Don't use weird terms for people you've just met! But, my name is Tsutsujimori Rosho. I already know where the best pudding in the city is so I can just take you there myself. What about your name?

[Uh oh, here's another one that's gonna fight him on the nickname front. Oh well! That hasn't deterred Kazunari yet.]

Uooh, you're already in the know! Impressive! [It's as if he wasn't getting scolded just seconds ago. He even throws up double peace signs to introduce himself.]

Kazunari Miyoshi at your service piko ~
